WASHINGTON, July 7. (By
Associated Press). By reason of
reliable Information that the
French government soon would
ratify the two Washington treaties
relating to China, Secretary Kel
logg was able to anticipate the
ratification and appoint the two
American commissioners to repre
sent the United States at the ens
toms conference to be held nnder
one of the treaties in Shanghai.
Minister John Van A. McMurray
was Instructed regarding the tariff
question before he left Washing
ton for Peking and Silas Strawn
of Chicago will be associated with
him in the capacity of American
commissioner when the conference
assembles probably this fall.
While the French senate' also' is
required v to approve the treaties
before the Paris government can
proclaim treasure' ratification,
there is reason to believe such ac
tion quickly will follow that taken
today by the chamber of deputies.
With the French senate's ap
proval, the treaties will have been
endorsed by all . governments
which became parties to them at
the Washington conference.
Officials here see an important
relationship between the French
ratification and the anti-foreign
demonstrations in Peking. Shang
hai and Canton and other Chinese
cities which had as primary in
centive the re-establishment of In
tercourse between China and. the
western powers on a basis of
equality of. opportunity. . ,
- The nine power treaty defines
the future policies o the signatory
governments with respect to China
and declares for the safeguarding
of rights and , interests of the
Chinese. The customs tariff con
vention provides for. a conference
for revision of Chinese customs
duties to give the Peking govern
ment an effective five per cent ad
valorem duty, an increase of 2V4
per'cent, over existing rates. ,
Washington , officials believe
that the Peking central ..govern
ment, with ; increased resources,
would-be strengthened materially
and be able In the end to establish
itself with sufficient power to con
trol militarist groups and give ad
ditional protection to lives and
property of foreigners In China.
PARIS. July 7 (By "Associat
ed Press.) The two treaties 01
the Washington conference affect
ing China were pushed through
the chamber of deputies .today by
M. Briand, foreign minister after
a warm exchange of compliments
with the communists. The treaties
were ratified by show of hands
and now will go to the senate.
One of the treaties .' relates to
the safeguarding of the rights and
interests of China, the. other deals
with the Chinese customs tariff.
In the chamber today the com
munists criticized the way they
thought capitalistic nations, were
exploiting the Chinese and forcing
children to work 18 hours a day.
M. Briand ended by telling the
communists not to flatter them
selves that they were entirely re
sponsible for the Chinese out
break.; "You simply fanned the flames
of discontent, he said.
M. Briand said the treaties tend
ed to assure the integrity and in
dependence of China nd conse
quently made for the Improvement
of . Social ' and labor conditions
there. .
The natural consequence ' of
ratification would be ' assembling
of a conference as proposed by the
united States, to discuss China
and he promised to do all In his
power to hasten such a conference.
